Where my love for trying new foods came from is sometimes a mystery to me. As a unit, my family tends to stick to the chain restaurants in our area, when we dine out together. That, or we introduce our mom to a new, local spot and that will be the only place she ever wants to go, when we visit.
I can always count on my sister, Shauna, to try a new restaurant with me, at least. This Mother’s Day is extra special, because sister and her husband, are expecting their first baby in September!
[preggo, mom and I for a girls day]
I can brunch it up with both of my sisters {and Jason}, often. But the “typical” Mother’s Day recipes you may find online, just aren’t dishes that appeal to our mom. The one cuisine we can always, always agree on, however is Greek food!
…and pizza. I mean but who doesn’t love pizza, right?!
So in honor of my mother, I created a Greek Chicken Pizza for her to enjoy. And since I obviously had to ::ahem:: taste test this recipe before I could share it, I can tell you that my mom l.o.v.e.d. this pizza. I was pretty stoked that I got her to even try it. The fact that she enjoyed it so much, made me one proud kid, ya’ll. Even at thirty, I seek her approval– especially when it comes to the kitchen. Happy Mother’s Day to the best momma I know!
